Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShiv M is a Staff Backend Engineer with 15 years of experience who helped build HackerRank from the ground up and now leads generative AI serving backend work at You.com. He combines deep expertise in data engineering, DevOps, full-stack systems and growth engineering with hands-on leadership—having built HackerRank’s data platform, deployment systems, and mission-critical scaling features. As a founder and startup builder, he shipped hardware-software IoT products, a popular Figma plugin with thousands of users, and a concise URL shortener, showing a knack for rapid productization. He has moved teams from monoliths to secure, testable, and performant services (including Python multiprocessing to escape the GIL) and introduced tooling to make integrations dramatically easier. Based in Mountain View, he blends founder-level product sense with production-room engineering discipline, equally comfortable shipping firmware, cloud gateways, or AI-backed SaaS. An early Google Summer of Code alum, he quietly favors pragmatic, reusable engineering patterns that reduce future toil.
